Glenholme & St Clair (East)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 18, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,882 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 2 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (205 of 457). Evening rush dominates here: 886 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 721 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 721 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 886 from 5:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 7 collisions. 5 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 11, 2020.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

On St Clair Ave W between Crang Ave and Appleton Ave, 130 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on St. Clair Avenue West (130 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 49,948 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Glenholme Avenue between St Clair Ave W and Rogers Rd (installed 2000).

Two thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Corso Italia-Davenport.
